School Holidays

The school holidays are now (already) over!

After a 5 week winter holiday last year in Alice Springs, this year’s 2 week holiday just flew by so quickly (particularly since we lost the first 8 days in sickness).

But we made up for it in the last few days – we went to playparks, we had playdates, we went to the theatre to see Pinocchio, we defaced our driveway (just with chalk, but I do need to wash it away now!), we went to a craft session where the kids made beautiful bookmarks out of beads, and we met a fairy in a shopping mall.

During the holidays, Molly has also come on leaps and bounds with her reading and we are very proud of her. She’s taken to leaving messages on the whiteboard for Jake when he comes home late from work (G&T Thursdays!) and her writing is becoming pretty great as well. She still loves her arts & crafts too and made some brilliant play dough people yesterday, then she entered a newspaper competition to draw a picture of a penguin – the penguin is truly gorgeous and is drinking champagne, singing and wearing a butterfly in her hair!
